Sign text: 0.4 mile. Built 1785 by Col. James Roddye, from North
Carolina. He was subsequently delegate to the North Carolina
Constitutional Convention, magistrate and register of Jefferson
County under territorial government and member of Tennessee's
first Constitutional Convention. The house was also a tavern on
the Kentucky Road.
The marker is on the south side of Hwy 11E/34 next to a very trashy transmission repair shop with many vehicles parked around. Also at this time, the marker is backwards, with the direction arrow on top pointing north, when it should be south.
The actual Hayslope house is south on Warrensburg Road just across the railroad tracks on the right (west). The house was observed to be maintained in fair condition.
